The Platoon of Power Squadron

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a web series, not reliably sourced as notable. The only references here are its own self-published website about itself, its IMDB page, its self-published YouTube channel and its creator's self-published blog, which means that none of them are independent or notability-supporting sources. The notability test for web series is not that their own self-published web presence technically verifies them as having existed -- it is that the web series has been the subject of reliable source coverage about it in real media.

 * Comment – From a WP:BEFORE search, I found the following sources in seconds. They have some interview content, so it's debatable if there's enough non-interview coverage there to qualify notability from these alone:
 * "'Platoon of Power Squadron': low-budget superhero web series with big results". Chicago Tribune
 * "Series Finale Sure to Ensnare Super Fans". Daily North Shore.
 * "OTL #541: Possible CPD reforms, Navigating Lake Street, The Platoon of Power Squadron series concludes". WGN Radio. (Select "play" on the media player to listen to the content)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting to allow time for review of North America's sources.

 * Delete and redirect to Craig Benzine where it's somewhat mentioned and can be expanded a bit. is a really good source, but the other ones aren't WP:SIGCOV to me. Searches of mine led me to same sources and listings. Does not meet WP:GNG because there aren't multiple sources discussing this in detail. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
